Protection SDKs, ANRs and store experience

Security claims, store pages, user expectations and conversion measurement.

ASO and store trust1 min readEditorial methods

An unresponsive or unlaunchable app cannot deliver its protections usefully. SDKs must pass performance acceptance.

Evaluation approach

Segment crashes and ANRs by release, device and flow. Compare protected and baseline builds under controlled conditions.

Application example

Startup checks should not occupy the main thread excessively on low-capacity devices.

Limits and considerations

Assuming every crash stopped an attack hides ordinary user failures.

Which group is affected?

Aggregate rates can hide concentrated failures. Investigate OS and device-family increases and validate suspected causes through controlled comparisons.

Checks and decisions

  • Segment devices
  • Measure startup
  • Investigate causes
